With Shelia was Olivia, an actress Lindsey had met before.
Although Olivia didn’t think highly of Shelia, she had to maintain a good rtionship with her due to her connection with Jacob, a man with considerable resources.
To leverage Jacob’s resources, Olivia feltpelled to maintain a pleasant rtionship with Shelia.
At the sight of Lindsey, Olivia’s pupils trembled slightly.
Remembering the previous incident where she was threatened and used to gather information about Lindsey, Olivia knew that the person behind Lindsey was not to be underestimated, and she couldn’t afford to offend them.
Shelia and Olivia had starred as the main and supporting actresses in a web series that had recently gained some poprity online.
Shelia, backed by Jacob, was increasingly gaining fame.
Disguised, they arrived at the mall today, drawn by news of Cherish’s store opening.
They were eager to get their hands on the brand’stest designs before anyone else.
Shelia and Olivia were runningte.
They should have been behind Lindsey and Nancy in line.
Instead, Shelia, adjusting herrge sunsses, clumsily bumped into Lindsey’s shoulder.
She then guided Olivia to a spot ahead of Lindsey and Nancy.
“Hey, why are you cutting in line? What’s the matter with you?”
Nancy’s loud protest drew the attention of the surrounding people.
Shelia, standing with her arms crossed and chin lifted arrogantly, seemed unbothered.
“Who saw me cutting in line? Wasn’t I always been in front of you? And besides, you’d better not line up.
It’ll be quite embarrassing if you end up not being able to pay.
”
Since all four of them arrived near the end of the line and at roughly the same time, there were no clear witnesses to the line-cutting.
ay? That’s absurd!” Nancy, her sleeves rolled up, was ready to confront Shelia, but Lindsey quickly grabbed her arm to calm her down.
“You know, some vain people just love to y pretend to be wealthy.
They might only have enough for a bus fare, but they’ll still carry a fake Louis Vuitton bag.
Dressing so shabby, how could they possibly afford Cherish? It’s hard to believe the lengths some will go for vanity,” Shelia scoffed, certain that anyone apanying Lindsey couldn’t be genuinely rich.
The basic items from Cherish were priced in the hundreds of thousands of dors.
She had spent considerable time convincing Jacob today, until he reluctantly handed over a ck card for her to purchase something from Cherish.
Meeting Jacob’s parents meant she had to show up with some luxury items.
It was all about maintaining a certain image.
Upon hearing Shelia’sments, the youngdies in the line took a careful look at Lindsey and Nancy.
They noticed that their outfits were in and without any adornments, making them appear not wealthy at all.
This observation led them to disregard the two girls.
They had a strong dislike for women who were not wealthy but pretended to be.
This type of woman wasmon in their social circles, and they were often the ones most looked down upon by others.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
Nancy, who usually had a short temper, was able to tolerate Shelia for such a long time only because Lindsey stopped her from reacting.
Lindsey then winked at Nancy, left the line, and positioned herself in front of Shelia.
With her lips slightly raised, she said, “Shelia, whether or not we can afford expensive items is our own business.
But it is definitely rude of you to cut the line in public.
You seem to have created a minor stir online recently and have started building a reputation for yourself.
Do you want to be a trending topic because of your actions today?”
Upon hearing Lindsey’s words, the people around them turned their attention back to Shelia.
In the entertainment industry, there’s a certain hierarchy of disdain.
Film actors often look down on television stars, TV actors snub those in web dramas, and big-budget web series cast a shadow over their lower-budget counterparts.
